One of the best tailoring recipies for disenchanting. If you can get runecloth for 1.2G/stack, you will make a profit in the long run even if Dream Dust prices are as low as 50s each and Greater Eternal Essences sell for 5G each.

I made and disenchanted 50 of these belts, and here was the total take, along with some interesting percentages:

Not the greatest Lesser Eternal Essence drop rate, and Dream Dust is below 50s on my server, but given the alternative (selling raw Runecloth for peanuts), this is by far the best Tailoring item to make and DE with spare Runecloth!

I did a trial of 70 and got:

Dream Dust - 191Lesser Eternal Essence - 31Small Brilliant Shard - 2

I solo farm old world instances for shards, and end up getting a lot of Runecloth. I ship it to my tailor / enchanter for maximum profit, and use this recipe for all runecloth, unless I have extra mats for Runecloth Headband.

Prices seems to be very different. On my realm runecloth, mageweave and netherweave cost the same, around 2.5-4g/stack.Often mageweave is more expensive.

And the Greater Eternal sells for 15g.

However, selling the essence often finance the purchase of the cloths, win-win.

Disenchanting math for those that are wondering if it would be better to buy runecloth and DE or just buy the enchanting mats.

You can use the formula to determine which is cheaper:15*R + 0.4 < 0.75*3.5*DD + 0.22*1.5*LE

...where R is the price of 1 Runecloth, DD is the price of 1 Dream Dust, and LE is the price of 1 Lesser Ethernal Essence. This formula assumes you buy your Rune Thread from a vendor you are exalted with. For the math challenged you want to buy Runecloth and have a tailor make belts and DE if the left side is less than the right side. Otherwise, just buy the Dream Dust and/or the eternal essence.

*Edit* I didn't add the value of Small Brilliant shards into the formula because I found they never sell on the AH. If you think you can sell them then use this, where SB is the price of a Small Brilliant:

15*R + 0.4 < 0.75*3.5*DD + 0.22*1.5*LE + 0.03*SB

If you're going to be disenchanting 25 or more of these, I would recommend using this simple macro.

/cast Disenchant/use Runecloth Belt

Note: You need to wait for the Runecloth Belt to disappear from your inventory, after looting, before clicking the macro again. Otherwise you will receive the message "That item is not a valid target."
